Codebound

Codebound follows Gabe, an 18-year-old who is introverted and socially awkward in person but known online as an anonymous humorist. Skilled in software and game development, he is passionate about projects that combine gaming with ideas such as mental technology. He and an online friend known as Null are developing a game based on mental connection technology.

The prototype device

Gabe and Null have built a prototype headgear device that transmits electronic brainwave signals and connects players to the game. It lets players control in-game characters through mental focus, without physical controllers. The system is untested, and some of its features remain unexplored.

Puzzles and missions

You progress through levels by solving complex puzzles and completing action-packed missions. They include mazes, brain-teasers and mechanisms that require precise timing. Limited lives, attention-demanding mechanics and increasingly difficult levels add to the challenges.

Enemies and glitches

You face advanced aliens equipped with high technology and robots with varied abilities. Because the game is still at the prototype stage, glitches can disrupt its logic or put Gabe in danger.
